More about the book
Focusing on nineteenth-century creation narratives, this work explores how texts like Hoffmann's Der Sandmann, Shelley's Frankenstein, and Villiers de l'Isle-Adam's L'Eve future allegorically depict the relationship between male creators and their artificial creations. Petersen analyzes these works within early Romantic philosophy, revealing critiques of art production amid technological advancement. The texts employ a poetics of confusion, reflect shifts in print culture, and challenge Romantic ideals, all while engaging with philosophical discourse on the sublime.
